328i F30 or M135?

[MaX]

Both are more or less the same age, same mileage, same specs and will cost will be just about R400pm difference. Got a damn good deal on a M135i 4door and thinking of trading the 328. Only difference, my 328 has Harmon Kardon sound and the M135i only BMW Professional.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

The M135i is a different animal completely... at that price diff, even though I just bought my gorgeous 328i I would tell you to go for the M135i. And bud you wont be using your radio in the M135i because the exhaust note sounds so damn amazing.

I hear you... one thing I will definitely miss is the wood interior of the 328.

Having said that, M135i with M Performance exhaust will be AWESOME!

Does your 328i have the M-Performance exhaust? Or was that the stock exhaust sounding so sweet down the straight at kyalami this weekend?

My m135i without M perf exhaust is already a head turner raise:

I think the only thing about the 328i is it has a bigger boot not that it matters, boot on the m135i is quite small

Performance wise I cannot get enough of my m135i I love this car its awesome and it can go sideways with ease hehe

M135i............ you will soon forget about the sound system in the car

Depends what you want the car for....
If for a daily, then stick with the 328. If for a toy, I feel there are better options. If you want times, then definitely the M135i :thumbs:

I agree with this. The 1 series has a very small interior. It's quite a squash in the back seats. All comes down to what your requirements are and what you want.

 

[Kimeran]

Well are you looking at brand new, secondhand or demos?

 

[MaX]

We don't have kids, not planning on kids in the next 5 years so small back seats aren't really an issue.

Secondhand, I change cars too often to buy new :smashScreen:

M135i for me is the perfect all rounder. Has the space even if boot is smaller than a 3 series.

Wrt the audio system. U can upgrade to the alpine system. Or check the Focal upgrade. There is a thread here discussing it for the F20

I have the Harmon Kardon system can't fault it, but there are better systems out there

Go test drive both, consider your needs & then which one speaks to you.

Definitely agree with you there Kimi.

I would go for the M135i,
They are soooooo much fun to drive and the sound is awesome!

I find the boot adequate in size, I cycle and can easily fit my bike in the back with the seats down!

Has to be the M135i.All cars get you from a to b but the M135i has a way of putting asmile on your face. :rollsmile:
